This English essay is going to take me forever, but I actually feel good doing it. I missed having to work on essays & getting back test grades (Aced my Italian test, holler!). Despite the fact that I totally procrastinated 2 weeks of knowing this assignment, I actually don't mind having to cram this 3 page paper all tonight. If anything, I'm intrigued by it. It's a pretty tacky subject, but it wants us to describe & interpret how we individually experience language in our lives. How we grew up around it, what has influenced us, & to find something that holds significance to us.
For my essay, the external source of my choice was the poem "Slip of Tongue" by Adriel Luis. I remember coming across this personal production of the poem a couple of years ago, & the flim only intensified the emotion embedded into the piece of work itself. I fell in love with it eversince.
The thing with me & writing essays, is that I have a massive flow of information that can't wait to be written down - so everything just rushes in all at once. I get lost in attempting to organize what goes where, which ideas seem relevant, & what aspects of the whole paper am I missing. But, I have faith in myself that I'll pull through a half-decent essay. Which reminds me, I have a first draft due for my Psych paper next Tuesday. Joyyy.
Today I spent the entire day at home, resting up yet again. I had one of the biggest scares of my life while making my way home after school yesterday, but I'm feeling much better now. I think over-exhaustion really hit me hard. Haha, I think I forgot what it felt like to be at a healthy state, because I feel amazing right now.
Alright, this intermission will be coupled with some home-cooked dinner, then back to the paper. Pray that I get this thing done before midnight.
